Decent, but always room for improvement!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ll start off with this: I’m lazy, and I’m bad at time management, so keeping my floors clean is sometimes difficult. I bought a Roomba to help with that, especially since I have cats...and litter boxes. I got tired of stepping on litter, too. Attached is a photo of my Roomba on its home base, and the “virtual wall” it came with. I purchased this Roomba in store with the help of a knowledgeable employee. So far, I’ve used it about 8-10 times, roughly. I turn it on randomly when I feel my floors need cleaned, whether I use the app on my phone or push the button on the Roomba itself is totally random. It came with a “virtual wall” in it, which acts like an invisible barrier to the Roomba. It won’t go past it, which is great for when I don’t want it getting lost in certain rooms. It runs for 1.5-2 hours before getting low on battery, and it begins making its way back home. It also alerts you when it gets stuck somewhere or when it’s time to empty the bin, which is awesome. Took me a while to learn how to empty the bin but a quick google/YouTube search helped me out. I would say this was a great purchase. There’s always room for improvement! The Roomba does the classic “bumps into everything” while it’s learning your house, which can be funny, or annoying. Give it time. It’s not quiet, though, so if you have sleeping kids or like a quiet environment, look for a different model of Roomba or another robot vacuum. All in all, I love it. There are no downsides for me, personally.

Really good investment.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ll be honest, I hate doing the floors but with a pittie dog, and with allergies, I have to. This was a really good purchase. I just turn it on and let it go and it cleans my hard wood floors. It saves you time. All you have to do is press clean and it just goes and does its job. I use it every day and it has minimized me doing that tedious task. The only thing is that is a con is that if you have a high carpet or thick carpet as a transition from wood it won’t go and clean the carpet, it will continue elsewhere. For me the carpet area is so small it is not a problem. I still gave it 5 stars because it has really saved me time and and it’s just really convenient. It does a fantastic job in aspirating dog hair and dust. When I empty the trash container I’m shocked by all the crap it sucks up. Also you can turn it on with your app or even program it to do your floors from work. It’s so great. If you have pets this is a great thing to invest in and I highly recommend it.

Very good vacuum cleaner robot
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good vacuum cleaner robot. I own mine for two years and have never faced any technical issues with it. I run it at least twice a week and the battery performance remains very good even after two years of operation. I have replaced only the air filter so far, all other components are still in good shape.

Happy back!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My back cannot handle the heavy (or light) vacuums. ROOMBAs came into our life and my back is a happy camper! Keeps our main home floor clean with automatic schedules daily cleaning. Also have one at our second home that we run when we have pre-scheduled to run when we are there. It is amazing how much is collected after being gone during the week!

Else wouldn’t buy something worth so much. It does the job very well. Except the fact that it runs over the same place again and again, it keeps the house clean.

Great product and price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are both retired and now have retired our sweeper. This unit was on sale and I added to my fleet four roomba. I have one on every level of the house so no more vacuuming required here. No issues with this unit, cleans family room carpet twice a week using the wi-fi schedule.

Love the concept - but it needs more
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Roomba 890. Great concept though I have questions about the direction of the company making different levels of robots which I will get to later. POSITIVES: *It really sucks… in a good way. It sucks hard on carpet, and sucks even better on non-carpet. When travelling from non-carpet to carpet surfaces, you can hear the motor rev up to do harder work on those carpet fibers. *It’s generally easy to use. 1 button – CLEAN – and away it goes. *Easy to dump dirt bin without dirt and dust getting everywhere. No bags to buy. *Can run via app while away from your home. *Battery is great! After running on tile only, I cleaned a giant room which included a ping pong table, a foosball table, an air hockey table, and a 6-ft long eating table with chairs… it took an hour and still had juice before it decided to dock. NEGATIVES: *Though there are no bags to buy, you do have to purchase new paper filters. Surely that could be resolved with a cleanable filter right? After paying $500 for a vacuum cleaner, I would hope to not have to make a lot of further purchases just in order to keep it working at peak performance. I’m forced to buy filters regardless. In this day and age of bag-less vacuums and washable filters, that’s one feature that should be implemented. *It’s random where it decides to go. It doesn’t get everywhere that you need it to go. If there is a heavily dirtied area, I didn’t see it really focus in on that one area more than others. If a person is to pay this much money for a vacuum, even a robot one, I would think it would do a thorough job and get all/most of the dirt. After all, what did I buy a vacuum for?? – to vacuum 60% of my floor? That means I have to get out my main vacuum and nearly do the entire floor again in order to make sure everything was done. *Once done vacuuming, it’s done. It does not pick up where it left off once it docks (after low battery or cycle just ends). And now I get to my point about different levels of robots. Why, as a company, would you want to make different levels of devices that clean your house? Why would I ever want my house only partly vacuumed? I have NEVER in my life vacuumed a room fully (not a spot vacuum) and not fully vacuumed it. It’s assumed in the definition of vacuuming a room – you vacuum the entire room. These robots are a bit random in their movements, and quite a bit of the room is not even touched one time, especially in a complicated room. However, take the Roomba 980 though, and you have more of a complete robot because it has a camera and tracks its movement to tries to cover an entire room before docking. And, if it doesn’t finish, it will dock, get charged up, then go start where it left off. Why would a person want anything less? For $400 more than the 890, you can get the 980. Personally, I think that’s a lot, but that’s relative. There is a lot of technology in these machines, but to pay $499 for a random floor cleaner vs $899 for a more thorough one… me? I’d pick a manual vacuum and do it myself in ¼ the time and for ¼ the price. Look at it this way, if you wash your car, would you only wash the hood, trunk and wheels? Same applies here. Great concept, iRobot – it TRULY is – however, there should be only ONE Roomba… one that does it all, and at an affordable price. Anything else is just shorting the customer IMO.

Q: QuestionDoes it clean in a grid pattern or randomly?
Asked by Patty.
- A:Answer It's not quite 100% random but it's not quite a grid pattern either (though you can 'spot' it like the old models, i believe), there is some kind of logic to it, but i don't think i can explain it. It has sensors, avoids obstacles, turns corners without having to bump something, slows down as it approaches things, when it finds dirts it spends more time in an area, etc.

Q: QuestionWhat makes the 890 worth$125 more than 690?
Asked by Rcs47.
- A:Answer not sure honestly - we noticed the price increase over our original unit but it does have a bigger catch basin and runs quieter so it may be due to improved design. Very glad we made the jump though.

Q: QuestionWhat is the best app to use to control th e model 890?
Asked by MinnieMe.
- A:Answer I use the iRobot app to control it from my phone. It also integrates with Amazon alexa with the Roomba skill so I usually just say "Alexa ask Roomba to start vacuuming" and then the Roomba takes off and does it's thing. When it is done it goes back to home base on its own. It vacuums for 90 minutes. Super easy.

Q: QuestionI’m going back and forth between the 890 and 960. I don’t see much of a difference other than the extra brush on the 960 and worth an extra $100. However, the 800 has a longer running time. Any suggestions on which one to choose?? Thanks
Asked by Rose.
- A:Answer Thanks so much for the question; comparing and choosing the right robot can be confusing. There are actually a few key differences between the 890 and 960. Best Buy has a nice comparison chart on the iRobot brand page, but here are the highlights: 1) The 960 navigates using a built-in camera (vSLAM technology) which provides full-level cleaning because the robot can recharge and resume if needed to complete a mission. In other words, if it runs low on battery, it will return to its Home Base, recharge, and pick up where it left off until the job is done. Because of this feature, the slightly lower running time is less of an impact 2) The vSLAM tech also means the robot cleans in parallel rows and can provide a CleanMap report of coverage for each job. You can also customize your cleaning preferences 3) Both the 890 and 960 have 5x the suction of the 600-series robots, are WiFi connected, work with Amazon and Google devices for voice activation and provide the same, superior 3-stage cleaning system I'd choose your Roomba based on how large of an area you want to clean at a time and how much customization you want in terms of cleaning and reporting. Hope that helps!

Q: QuestionWe have hardwood throughout house, with ceramic tile in kitchen. However at the entrance to each room, there is a quarter inch high hardwood threshold piece. Will the Roomba navigate over that threshold?
Asked by Doghaircentral.
- A:Answer Yes, it will, even higher.

Q: QuestionI have a dog that sheds a lot. His hair is short but there is a lot of it. Which is the right Roomba for me? Main use on wood and ceramic floors.
Asked by Charlie.
- A:Answer We currently have 6 dogs of various sizes and mostly medium/long hair that spend a lot of time in the house so we have a LOT of dog hair on the floors. We have had the 960 model for almost 2 years and I still swear it is the best gift I have ever gotten! I set it to clean at night when everyone is in bed in the main living areas (primarily wood and some tile) and it cleans dog hair, tracked in dirt and everything else like a charm. It's great to wake up to clean floors and we all love our "Hazel"!
